King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 747
Most of the slaves quickly lowered their heads and curled up. No one dared to speak, and no one even looked at the Qiang Hu people. Li Lin also quickly lowered his head, trying his best to face the rope he had freed. Helping Li Lin and blocking Li Lin's hand, the Qianghu people of course didn't notice that there was actually another person who wanted to escape, and on the other side, several Qianghu people had already rode out and went straight to the fallen people. The slaves, no matter they were dead or not, flew off their horses, stabbed those slaves a few times, and then they didn't even look at them, they got on their horses and rode back.

After the Qianghu people came back, no one spoke, and they continued to lie on the ground and sleep as before, but all the slaves already knew that in the dark, how many people were watching them vigilantly, trying to escape?Those few people just now are the end.

"Huhuhu..." Li Lin closed his eyes, calming down his nervous emotions. Fortunately, he didn't show his feet just now. He was too careless. These Qianghu people dare to put these slaves here in a big way How could he be defenseless? Li Lin looked at the Huns beside him happily, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Thank you very much!"

"Well!" Of course the Huns accepted it readily, and then said slowly, "Don't think about running away. In such a terrain, the Qiang and Hu people have absolute dominance. With fast horses and bows and arrows, you can't escape the Qiang people at all." Hu people's pursuit!"

After Li Lin heard this, he remained silent. Could it be that he could only go on like this?Just be a slave?How could I be willing, even...

Li Lin suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked the Huns, "That brother, can you tell me what time it is?"

The Huns looked at Li Lin very suspiciously, and did not understand why Li Lin would suddenly ask this question. Of course Li Lin would ask, because Li Lin was afraid that he had crossed here. The world, and this world's own identity is a slave, there is no mirror now, otherwise Li Lin would take a picture to see if his appearance has changed.

The Huns were silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know, maybe there are still big men in the Central Plains... eh..."

"Huh..." Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing what he said, he probably had crossed over again. Li Lin asked suspiciously, "Brother, my name is Li Lin, Li Yuanjie, what's your name! How did you get caught?" He was tied up!" Now that he had saved his life, Li Lin relaxed his guard against him. Being a slave, he didn't know what he was doing, but it was better to ask a friend to say something than nothing.

The Huns looked at Li Lin, turned their heads away slowly, and after a long silence, said slowly, "I'm called Qubei..." Then there was no more text, and Li Lin saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he stopped talking. Continue to ask.

After three days of trekking, Li Lin was so hungry that he had to accept the food made of mixed noodles mixed with water. His whole body was covered with sand, excrement, blood, and there was no clean place.Just when he was about to reach the limit of his endurance, the destination arrived. Looking from a distance, a huge mountain range was overwhelmingly black on the desolate land, and there were only rows of city walls erected in the mountains. Although they were not very high, they It is also a strong fortress. The surrounding hills are barren, and occasionally there are a few dead old trees in the wilderness. The most important thing is that a river extends out of this fortress. The moat is actually flowing red. of the river.

The carriage stopped, and the Qianghu people opened the cages, untied the ropes of the people, beat the slaves with whips, and drove them out of the carriage. However, due to long-term immobility and poor blood flow, most of them could not get up. Li Lin touched his numb legs and staggered off the train. As soon as he stepped on the ground, Li Lin's feet went limp and he fell to the ground. Hot liquid flowed down from the fire, and the whip-wielding Qianghu shouted violently, "Quick! Line up in a line, hurry up, what are you dawdling about!"

The exhausted slaves slowly lined up in a line of indistinct heights, and walked towards the gate of the fort in a mess. The majestic city wall connected the mountains on both sides. Outside the city wall was a wide moat, and the river was still earthy red. In the river water, a row of ragged and haggard people knelt on the bank of the river. Behind each of them was a burly man in a black hood holding a sharp sword. As the leading man said "cut!", the light of the knife flashed. , a row of blood rushed out of the neck, and a dozen large heads were rolling everywhere.Then a group of people with the same haggard complexion came over pushing a small wheeled cart, loaded the corpses into the cart in twos and threes, and dragged them away.

The people on the city wall moved the huge winch, "Wow..." The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the slave team slowly walked into the city gate surrounded by Qianghu people. Li Lin squinted his eyes and looked up. The dazzling sunlight Next, there are Qianghu people with weapons on the top of the city wall. Below the crenels of the city wall, there are a row of iron mesh cages hanging, and inside are rotten and smelly human heads!
Where exactly is this, Li Lin doesn't know, but looking at the construction of the fortress, it doesn't look like it can be built by the Qianghu people. It is clearly the craftsmanship of the Han people, but why are there Qianghu people here?My own slaves, why did they bring them here?
"Hey! Where is Qubei here?" Li Lin couldn't help asking this new friend beside him.

"Crack!" A whip came from a distance, and the Qiang Hu people heard Li Lin's words, and immediately cursed, "Damn it! There are so many flowers, go in!"

Knowing that there was a bloodstain left on Li Lin's exposed back, he gritted his teeth without making any sound, and there were already many intricate whip marks on his back.

But already entered the fortress of Tao... No!This place should not be a fortress anymore, because Li Lin finally understood where it is, why there is a red river, and why there is a lot of green smoke coming out of it, because here is a mine. The field, and it can be seen that it is a metal mine.

"Mine! Fortress! Qiang Hu people!" Li Lin's eyes turned quickly. Why is this series of information so contradictory? There is a mine, and this place should be in Guanzhong. Look at the construction of the city. The environment, and the distance I have traveled in the past few days, this place is definitely in Guanzhong, but in Guanzhong, how could there be a mining city built by barbarians?No, this mining city was clearly built by the Han people, so how could it be in the hands of the Hu people?Could it be that the barbarians beat them down?Hu people lack metals, because almost all metals are used to make weapons, so they have to be barbecued food for a long time, and there are very few iron ore in the places where Hu people live, but Li Lin looked at the two sides Mine, here is a very huge mine, even in the place under my control, it is quite large, such an important position, such terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Qianghu people are brave, that is On the flat ground, the siege battle is not an opponent for the Qiang and Hu people at all, but this place has indeed become the territory of the Qiang and Hu people?There is only one answer, this place was given to the Qianghu people!

After a series of analysis, Li Lin has almost figured it out. With cold eyes, he murmured to himself, "Liu He! You bastard, didn't you want the Qiang Hu people to help you? Such generous conditions!" If you lack anything, you can give him what you want, and he will help you. In this business field, it seems to be a win-win situation, but for war, it is the most mentally handicapped, let alone fighting with Qiang. Hu people are doing business, war, intrigue, no permanent enemy, no permanent friend, you help him now, give him what he needs most, and one day, when he has the ability to defeat you, he will With what you funded him in the past, come to kill you, the Qiang Hu people lack iron ore, so they can't form a strong one, even the most elite Hu soldiers can't have a good set of armor, but you give them now With such a large mine, the Qiang and Hu people can manufacture weapons and armor on a large scale. They will inevitably rise rapidly and form an army with both offensive and defensive capabilities. At that time, who can stop the entire big man!
Li Lin became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He cursed Liu He in his heart. Liu He harmed himself because of his great achievements and each had his own needs. Although Li Lin hated it, he understood that if someone prevented him from taking If you don't know what you want, you may do whatever you want, but what about now?Liu He actually helped the Qiang Hu people. This is to cut himself off from his descendants and the people. It seems that this sentence is high-sounding, but if one day, the Qiang Hu people are extremely powerful, Liu He...you Just cry, the civil strife in the Han Dynasty has killed countless people, if the Hu people kill them, the people of our race will have a different heart, what kind of massacre will they launch?
In fact, Li Lin didn't know that the benefits Liu He gave to the Qiang and Hu people were not urgent. It was just such a huge mine, but what Li Lin remembered now was indeed the few that he had read from the history books. Things—five random things!
Over there, it was because of the stupidity of the Jin Dynasty and the rise of the Hu people that the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, and the Han people's court perished, so they had to move south, but what about the north?Of course, he was ruthlessly slaughtered by the barbarians... And now, what Li Lin is most afraid of is whether there are so many Liu He, will the five chaos be brought forward? Having ruled the world, the current big man is precarious and on the verge of falling. Liu He is so confused, doesn't this give the barbarians a better chance?
